7/9 c34 29OctaviaWithStarsForEyes
In honor of the absolute legend herself descending from the heavens after a long hiatus, I will now, 34 chapters in, give my first formal review. humiliation, love. Anyway, we're gonna pretend that this shouldn't have happened WAY earlier and just present it as a token of 34 chapters worth of my love. Without further ado, let's look at this GLORIOUS comeback together because I'm fucking floored and I'm going to walk everyone through exactly why.

the first paragraph immediately killed me with how beautiful the language was. I'm just gonna come out and say it—your prose and how you consistently wield language in such a surprising and delicate yet coarse way is absolutely bonkers. I wanna write like you so bad it makes me look STUPID. "Here was an old resentment creeping into her heart, here was a vendetta allowed to rot"—ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME? if so, it was a near thing miss madame!

This chapter was so incredible in the insight we got to Khalore since it's been a minute since we checked in with her. Whenever we leave someone for a while, I tend to put them on a little back burner and kind of maintain what I think they're going through. Since anger has been the most consistent emotion we've seen from Lore so far, to come back to her and get this cracked egg vulnerability all of a sudden is so refreshing. I love the tonal shift from her and getting to see her process the loss of her arm and her role. Her grapple with purpose is such good insight to the way she determines her value through her use as a pawn in the larger warrior scheme. In her intro chapter she talked about her use as someone expendable. Self-immolation, I believe, was the word she chose. To see her conviction and bitter determination from then contrasted with her current floundering for her place really shows how far she's come. (I especially adored her revelation about how her failure could be just mediocre and what that shows re: her mindset on what's worse to her. I wonder if uselessness/mediocrity was in her hell on earth/greatest fear part of her form? anyway, absolutely incredible and efficient and delicious)

It's also great to see the way Khalore tries to find use for herself. Stepping into emotional support for Kinga and Ina instead is such a pivot for her but we really do love to see it. It's interesting that this was her first thought in how to help and I think it provides insight to the fact that deep down, Khalore really is kind. I think she's got this whole thing going on about being strong and being fierce, etc. but her instincts still have such care to them. It's nice that her current predicament is allowing those instincts to stretch their figurative legs a bit. Especially joking with Kinga about the wound and whatnot, it's such a lovely departure from her typical bearing.

Speaking of my moon, this chapter is also great for us hungry Kinga stans and seeing glimpses of her emotions. Her showing pain and relying on others and being angry is just so rewarding. She was relatively subdued in the last few chapters, mostly just wry and witty commentary, so to see the return of proper furious Kinga is just lovely. I mean not for her, with the arm and all, but. for ME anyway. Honestly, everyone was in such top form this chapter. Ilja being a caricature of his old cheer, Zoran bristling, Nez's poison and Ina willing herself not to react—it was literally so incredible. (sidenote: the fact that we still don't know how the beta squad got into illea is driving me nuts but i will wait patiently)

Seeing the newcomers stand against the established warriors is so interesting to me, mostly because I still don't understand *why* there's such a divide. I mean maybe I missed something but idk it feels strange. They spent 10 years together and now its completely different. Is it about the bitterness of their failure? Did something happen back in Irij for them to change so suddenly? I don't know man, it's just so weird to me. I mean Nez is an abrasive personality and Hyacinth is clearly no longer stable, but Belle? Especially if she isn't a xrafstar... Whatever it is, I'm totally hooked by it. I do hope they can team up but the vibes are frankly rancid and horrible so I'll be waiting eagerly to see how things play out.

Okay my last thought is just that I think that Kinga's plan is literally the worst thing I've ever heard! Love her! not the plan tho! like uhhhh fuckin! don't do that sis! i cannot emphasize how bad a plan that is. Desperately hoping it does not come to that because jesus christ. Ina is holding this group together good god. Hope things are going better on Azula's end because this is! disaster!

Ok that's all for now! i could go on but im running out of time, so a smooch for each of these good kiddos, excepting Nez for that pekka commentary, and a smooch for my dear author! thelim next! byeeee

I'm being honest here, I'm really going to miss Xye. Even if most people don't seem to care about him since he wasn't that important, he was my boy that I made and I loved him. A part of me has a little hope he will return, but even then, what point would he be to the plot? I dunno, he's probably never coming back. I've accepted it at this point, yet it still breaks my heart to think about him. He came and went too quickly for me, I should't have gotten so attached. Still, I absolutely love the writing, even if i'm sad about Xye I'll always read WSDJ cause it's so amazing.

GIIIIMMMMEEEEEE CHAAAAAOOOOOSSSSSS!
The calm before the storm is ending and I can just feel that when the storm hits, a earthquake will come with it… An a tsunami too, for good measure.

I hate that the Warriors are hiding stuff from Azula cuz I KNOW it will end up badly. I really love their dynamics and I did not want to see their relationship fall apart because of secret keeping. I also know that Zula will feel so betrayed when she finds out.

I love that Ina refers to the group as “her Warriors”, it just shows how much closer they got during their time in Illéa. Also, Ina babe, of course you are loved! Doran worships the ground you walk on!

The stranger guy is sus, very sus. I have yet to identify if he is bad sus or good sus.

I AM READY FOR NEACINTH!

The discussion about if the Warriors can trust the new arrivals will be very heated, I can just see it.

I loved the chapter! Zorans POV is always wanted and appreciated by me :3
4/16 c29 1The-Sweater-Sloth
Great chapter! The suspense around belle is killing me, not really but it’s like a little light stomach acid, lol. I love how the group still checks in with each other. And one thing that I really found interesting was Zor’s internal conflict about being illean and about destroying illea. You made it really cool to read.

4/3 c27 3LoganPerdue
AH! BELLE IN THE SELECTION! Such a good chapter, I'm super excited!
3/31 c26 LoganPerdue
I'm thinking since it's been a few months both Xye and Hyacinth are not alive, since they are outside the wall. Unless they teamed up? Hm. I dunno. I'm assuming they are dead now so I don't give my hopes up. RIP Hyacinth and Xynone. You will be missed.
